My shiny, silver bracelet is an object that holds much significance in my life. It is a very simple, thin-banded piece that reads "BLESSED" in tiny black letters. It is versatile; it can be layered with colorful, threaded friendships bracelets for casual beach trips and silver hoops for a fancy girls night out. Its pliability allows me to slip it on and off my wrist at any given moment. Its simplicity offers an element of style while not looking too flashy. The appearance of this bracelet is pleasing, and serves its purpose. But deeper than that...
This bracelet holds intense significance to me. As cliche as it sounds, when I glance at my bracelet and read the message on my bracelet, it reminds me to be thankful. So often in life, I take the importance things for granted. I can get so caught up in the stupid, insignificant crap, and forget about what truly matters to me. It is a reminder to appreciate what I have, enjoy the moment I'm in, and share my blessings with others. This small silver circle is a representation of life. There is a beginning and an end. I am on a journey; hopefully far from the end. What I accomplish on this journey, I aim to make impactful.
Part of the significance of this object results from its bestower. My best friend Sophie gave me this bracelet on my 17th birthday. She told me that I am a blessing in her life. I carry this message with me, and also always remember how big of a blessing she is in my life. This bracelet symbolizes friendship. Strong and durable yet flexible when messed with. My friendship with Sophie is one that will last a lifetime, this i know. We just need to be flexible to change and honest with each other.
